2021 British Single Meal Ration Pork Sausage Casserole MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat SMR Tasting Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 ноя 2023
- The SMR is the UK equivalence to the US MRE, and this British comfort food classic Pork Sausage Casserole is quite possibly the best menu out of the 10 currently in service. With 1,500 calories, a roaring flameless ration heater that's easily twice as powerful as an MRE's, and rugged components that are palatable and nutritious, this is truly one of the most well made military rations in the world.

Steve’s Son: “dad why is my sister named rose?
Steve: “ because your mommy loves roses”.
Steve’s son: “oh ok thanks dad”
Steve: “no problem coffee instant type 1”
Nice.
This made me laugh. Good job.
That’s his least favorite child. “Why can’t you be more like your brother type 2?”
Steve's other son's name is: Nice Hiss
@@corrigan88101 Don't forget Odorless! (like botulism)
As someone who has depended on rations for an extended period of time, I can tell you that the generosity with the tissue and nice big moist towelette are definitely appreciated by British service members serving in the field.
Here in the US when I was in the Army we called it John Wayne toilet paper
Nice!
@@garglemeceemen2991 I read that in Steve's voice.
Wow . Can't y'all just wipe your hands on your uniform or something like any civilized soldier would?
@@WiIdbiII I'm not talking about food or dirt here. And when one has gone six weeks without a shower, believe me, a generous supply of relatively large wet naps come in handy.
Look I know we love steve but can we take the time to just appreciate tray. He really holds the show together.
Nice!
Front and center in almost every video, but never hogs the scene or asks for special credit. Just doing it's job with no complaints.
What a humble tray.
His name is A. Tray. You must be new around here.
Yeah, tray!👏👏👭👬👏... that's a standing ovation!!!😅
My son recently adopted a cat and we named him Biscuits Brown, due to his color and biscuit making. We're big fans, Steve.
Amazing
Nice!
When you go at him with the can opener does he give you a nice hiss?
You win all the internet points today
That's a pretty huge compliment, Steve.
A testament to British hospitality that even in the field you're given a choice between tea or coffee.
The tea is for drinking, the coffee is for trading with americans
You guys don’t drink both?
Im british and drink both@@jasoninthehood9726
@@jasoninthehood9726yeah we do. Mainly drink coffee TBH.
@@jasoninthehood9726 I'm a Brit and I only drink coffee.
I am in drug and alcohol recovery your videos help me out tremendously when I am board I appreciate your sir thank you for making these videos
Hope the recovery is going well.
Sobriety is giving up one or two things for everything.
Keep going mate, recovery works x
@@kitharrison8799 today is my 6 months !
Keep up the good fight, my guy.
Keep at it pal!
I'll never not recall the story of the Yank UAV team that were attached to us in Iraq. They were given a 25hr Rat pack each, but, being used to single meal MRE's, both scoffed the whole lot in one go. It was both hilarious and impressive that they could eat it all in one sitting.
We Americans don't believe in recommended portion sizes.
If you doubt this check out various Europeans going to American restaurants. They leave barely being able to walk. We're planning what's for dinner.
i always love steve’s videos for not just the content and his commentary/analysis, but the stories of veterans like you! i can only imagine y’all’s reactions to finding out the americans ate their entire days worth of food at one time
Admittedly, we are big eaters. :)
Murica 🇺🇲🦅✊🏻
Now thats peak efficiency right there haha. Did they happen to eat anything else the rest the day?
Could only imagine what that did to their GI tract
Brilliantly designed ration. You can tell that it is made to be comfort food and to remind a soldier of home. You can see yourself eating/drinking any of that while reading the paper at the kitchen table. Making me hungry just seeing it. If it weren't bedtime, I'd go have some biscuits and jam with coffee right now. Great review 10/10.
you brits eat jam on biscuits ?
its 4 in the morning you also go to bed late 😁
Depends on the biscuit, and how indulgent we're feeling.
You probably wouldn't put jam on a bourbon (although... Might try that tonight), but strawberry jam on a custard cream or a dark chocolate hobnob? Get in. 😂
What's a paper bruv
Those biscuits are for clogging you up. Hated them with a passion. The boil in the bag stuff wasn't bad. My favourite was the rolled oats with chocolate powder added or the giant oat biscuit.(aka a giant hobnob)
@@keysersoze3427I've never heard of a biscuit being callled a hobnob. Interesting
Every time Steve says something like ‘Thiamine… gotta have it’ or ‘Biscuits, Brown is back in town’, I have the urge to say ‘yes it is Steve, yes it is.’
😂😂
Biscuits brown is back in town - deffo t-shirt slogan
Biscuits Brown has been around….
😂🤣🫡
Gettin down, with biscuits brown.
This is what I like most about Steve. He just uploads at random. Nothing weekly, or monthly. Sometimes I wonder what happened when he's away for a while.
But the most important of all, is he does every video with calmness, clearness, no cuss/swearing, no asking for subscribers or to like his videos, etc... He just does a review, gives an honest opinion, and let's his audience decide whether to like, comment or subscribe. Unlike many RUclipsrs who think they have to ask, beg, plead, in each video. Sometimes 2, 3, or more times. It gets old.
he lets his content speak for itself and it really is a refreshing change of pace from a lot of content creators. he does it out of passion and it shows.
It’s just really great to watch a guy who loves his MREs . It’s pure, it’s authentic and just fun to watch.
Thats why i keep coming back after all these years. I even check in regularly when Steve's on hiatus just in case he may have unloaded
The episode where he smokes a cigarette from the WW1 are still makes me chuckle to think about
I'm always completely blown away by the heating things...
I know it sounds weird but seeing that pouch with food inside heating up on its own is always something amazing to me...I guess I'm still a kid who gets amazed by simple things like these...
Better than being totally jaded I guess 😄😄
I've once read it's basically the components of a battery mixed together. And adding water to it is like short-circuiting said battery. If you've seen a Lithium battery go wild, you'll understand exactly how this type of heater works.
hot steam will burn ya tho if your that dumb! lol so many just opt to eat it cold. everything is time management on a march.
Simple minds amazed by simple things friend. It's just basic chemistry used well.
it’s a good old fashioned exothermic reaction.
@@LIamaLlama554 Yes of course...But it still amazes me 🙂
I ate dinner, but I think I still have room for a couple MRE's!
Every time he posts a video I know I’ll need to get a Snack out.
good god man. how? im 250 lbs 115 kg and work out every day and i could not eat 3.meals +mre
Nice!

I love Steve. Stoked we are getting more videos!
Nice!
Steve, I'm so pleased to see that you (instinctively?) added your 'Biscuits Brown' to your casserole.
The resulting flavour and texture is indeed 'changing up a gear'.
This is what all British squaddies do.
Thanks for posting.
Definitely a pro.
Best one is making a banging porridge out of a oatmeal block
@@stevendavies7083 Absolutely.
Any time we get a double feature from Steve is a great day.
Well Steve1989-san, thanks soo much, I like your post! From Tokyo,Japan!I luv these reviews from anywhere in the world,and I especially enjoyed the JSDF, ones, as I served in Japanese Maritime Self Defense Forces for 28 years(1989-2017) I’ve retired and collect my retirement/pension from it!

I’ve had a rough week, punctuated by a particularly hard day today. This full-on changed the tone of my day. Very excited.
Felt that.
Hopefully things will get *nice* for you soon.
Condolences friend. Steves videos are pretty chill to listen to, you can tell he enjoys this job.
Hey man I hope you have a relaxing evening and some restful sleep, tomorrow will be a better day for sure. Thanks for stopping by and see ya around!
@@Steve1989MRE That’s the plan. Tomorrow is always better. Thanks for sharing your interest.
Steve, more than once I’ve suffered from insomnia and you have been my lullaby. Not to say you’re boring, I just love to watch you unbox MREs and maintain the same energy throughout the years. Thank you for helping me with my personal issues.
I agree its very calming/relaxing to watch
Glad you’ve found a way to manage your insomnia, friend ❤
*Immediately goes to dunk the biscuit into the tea* You're an honorary Brit Steve.
Steve, you are the MRE master!!!!
Hey right on Paul! nice
My partner and I in the UK are in the unfortunate situation of needing to use a food cooperative, like a food bank you pay a contribution to. These pieces of gum show up every week! Packs of nuts with fruit, some amazing little ginger biscuits/cookies, and a few other items in the same line of packaging appear every now and then. Strange seeing them in the hands of Steve, and knowing for once how some of it tastes. Great work as always, thank you!
God bless you and may your situation better.
hope you get back on your feet soon :-)
but you can afford a VR headset get your priorities right and stop looking for hand outs
@@essexginge9167 The food co-op collectively purchases food in bulk using our membership money. There are no free handouts. The headset was bought in 2017. Take your ignorance elsewhere.
@@essexginge9167 He could of got that before his situation turned sour, or given it for free. Stop acting like a big man. it's sad.

There's nothing better, than starting your day off with not one, but TWO new Steve1989MREInfo videos. What a time to be alive.
These are often called Cadet Rations as they are a single meal for Cadets to use on the 1 day field trips. On exercises we were given these for a 24 hour assignment to make your 24 hours alone to make it through with what you could forage in the bush.
Wtf you foraged? What the hell kind of missions in modern day are places where you have foragable food? Where were you stationed, Brazil?
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 Bush Tucker - we were in the bush. Native foods were what we were taught to look out for. Surprising what is right under our nose that we don't know about.
@@matthewbrown6163mushrooms berries roots ?
@@GrayFolxy So many foods used by the Aborigines that could be added to supplement a basic intake. Certain fruit bearing trees & bushes could be added to the rations.
@@GrayFolxy So many native foods we were unable to eat until we were educated by the local indigenous mob. BTW if only you knew what "roots" mean to us LOL Increasing your calorie intake with local knowledge is the key to sustaining longer.
After this video, the amount of times I've heard sausages called, "delectable" is now a total of 1. How can you not love this guy's videos? Thanks Steve!
Steve is like the Bob Ross of MRE videos.
Steve and Bob Both are from the I 4 corridor of center Florida it's in the water just good people mkay.
That who he reminds me of 😊
Awesome reply
Every time I think Steve won't possibly bless us with ANOTHER double upload he does. No rationing going on with this content. Nice.
Yay, more Steve! Just what I need to help me relax for bed!! 🤜🤛
Nice!
@@Steve1989MRE finally got a reply after years, nice!!!
That sausage casserole doesn't look half bad! When Steve clears the tray you know its decent. Thanks for the upload Steve!
When the world needs him the most, Steve delivers
That heater sounded like it was about to take off. Another awesome video. Thanks, Steve 😀
So far it seems the Chinese and Brits make the best FRH heaters. 😎👍
Every time Steve drops a video, it feels like I have a friend. Thank you Steve
I ❤ when he drops a good 24 hour one
The world is going to hell, and here is Steve bringing us wholesome shelf stable food videos to make things better for a few minutes.
Why is every video he makes so comforting and calming and just feel-good?
I see hundreds of these each day but Steve can still make it intresteing, that says a lot. Another great review, Now for the Danish 24 review. Cheerz.
I bet Steve’s personal mre stash is a thing of beauty
Anyone else notice Steve's oddly deep voice in the very beginning that quickly goes back to normal?
I really needed a double dose of ration review!!! Thanks for the much appreciated and well timed entertainment!
There’s nothing I don’t love about these videos.
You get to learn quite a few things, you’re entertained, relaxed & intrigued
Nice! You’re the man, Steve!!
Always great to see a new Steve MRE video drop! One of the few that I will drop everything to stop and watch!
Glad to see you still at it and in good health! Thanks for the years of great documentation and entertainment. You rule Steve!
He’s in good health because all of the preservatives are going to keep him alive for the next 200 years.
Thanks for making these videos Steve. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we really, really appreciate it.
2 videos back to back, I’ll save these for bed time to finish the day listening to your soothing voice taking me away from all the troubles of life into the perfect world of mres.
The community here is awesome! I waited to watch this second video for this morning. Never disappointed! Steve makes me want to get this ration and the Danish one! Damn!
When we need him most, Steve gives us another M.R.E review video. He is awesome....
Why do I get so excited when I see a new video pop up from Steve? You are truly a craftsman in this hobby!!!!
Steve the calmness of your videos has helped me relive stress and anxiety every time I watch them. Been watching this channel for years.
Steve, you need to sell a shirt that says “Biscuits Brown is back in town”
This was so relaxing I feel asleep, I love this Channel and these videos Steve is like the uncle that I never had!
The 1 liners and visual presentation are set to maximum on your videos. I am strangely addicted to these things. All the best to you Steve! 💪
Steve is absolutely spoiling us now. Thank you for continued excellence.
Nothing makes me happier in life than seeing a fresh Steve upload
Steve blessing us with an upload? NICE
Nice! alright cool, see ya
@@Steve1989MRE💜💕👍🏻
Steve you are the authority on MRE’S Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s greatly appreciated.
I don't know why but this is one of my favorite channels honestly I think its because of how good he is at what he does. Idk mad respect i love this channel
Another incredible review!
I don't know if this in your wheelhouse, but with your experience and knowledge of MRE's I'd love to see you either tour a place that makes them or interview someone responsible for making them.
The premier place for that would be the US Army Research Laboratories in Natick, Massachusetts, just west of Boston. It is where all of the US MREs are developed and tested.
Solid ration!! Great to see you Steve!!
I'm so glad you're posting reviews more frequently Steve!
I truly enjoy you enjoying these so much! Thank you for this educational and delectable content!
When they say "single meal" its actually enough to last 12 hours, British rations are 2 main meals and a hearty mid day marching snack/brew so id say thats a great ration for someone yomping or hiking for a few hours. Great vid as always
Yes, the technical definition of the word “ration“ means enough food for one man for one day.
@@davidgold5961 not true, ration means a fixed amount of a commodity
Wow what a ration! The British SMR, an outstanding ration to say the least!
For years I come back here. Keep going man, you rock!
Brings me back man. Only ever had the Canadian MRE’s in the 80’s and 90’s. Thanks for all your videos. 👍🏻
I’m feeling a bit down today, thank god he posted and saved my day.
Hey I hope the rest of your evening ends up being great and tomorrow too! Alright cool, see ya
I’ve had the flu, so for once it’ll be good for me to let Steve pique my appetite. ❤ Thankful for the brightness these simple videos bring to life. May God bless everyone viewing with me.
I just got over it worse than covid. I'm feeling for you.
Winding down on a Friday night with a Steve MRE review. Makes the cold a little less cold, my foot hurt a little less, and brings the work week to its conclusion. Nice!
I love watching these videos while I eat my dinner, Steve makes MRE food sound so delicious
Steve is killin it with the videos this year, how about another camping special?
I thought he was going to have a whole series of home made MRE vids after he did that Thanksgiving one.
I'd love to see Steve do a homemade MRE Christmas Dinner, including Christmas Cookies! 😎👍
@@lancerevell5979 I was thinking along the same line.
Very cool Steve! These videos always make me happy.
Hey thanks raven, these British SMR's are great rations
I've been following your channel for about 5 years. My 10 year old Son digs them also.
Great stuff, man.
Big TY steve ! Your work somehow brings joy to my day. No other reviewer can do it like you. ;)
UK rations are really cheap and easy to get online, so many of the components in these and the 24hr packs are great for camping/hiking like the wipes, matches, purification tablets as well as the food items. Not a fan of the 3 in 1 hot drinks myself, but that's personal choice, I always stock up on the old sachets of Rombouts coffee if I can find them! Yes, I am the one Brit who doesn't like tea!
Cheap?
You must be getting yours off the back of an army lorry.
@@oldbatwit5102 ebay mostly, around £15 in general for a 24hr pack.
Not exactly cheap , but they are really good, lots of weird british stuff 😊..brave of you to out yourself for not liking tea ....something strange for a brit ... its in our DNA , hey it'd a crazy world out their ... all the best 👍... btw. Bacon grill was the best we had in our compo ...squaddies know what I'm talking about 😊
@@markthompson8733 I mean cheap compared to the alternatives, a single MRE or Real Turmat meal is at the very least the same price, probably more, so being able to get 3 meals plus snacks, drinks etc is a good deal IMO. Only use them for day trips or overnighters though, too heavy for multi-day trips. Even 3 Wayfarer pouch meals is probably £15, and that's just the mains.
@@markthompson8733mate, Theres loads of us who dont drink tea! Me and my wife are in our 30’s and we dont, and we know a good few who dont drink tea, some only do coffee but we (me and wife) actually dont like hot drinks!
Our nephews / nieces wont drink tea either. I feel its very much an older person thing (40++)
Have a good thanksgiving Steve, thanks for the video.
Hey Hagmire thanks man and hope you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving as well! I'll be back before then with two more, maybe more.
@@Steve1989MRE Right on man, NICE! I'm glad to hear that.
Double videos from Steve! What a glorious day!❤
Never a dull day when we get two Steve uploads. Nice!
Eating a pepper stick and now watching Steve eat an mre!! What a win!!!! Thanks for posting
Pepper stick? Like a salami stick with extra pepper?
Absolutely decadent! Thanks for stopping by! nice
@@RuSosan it’s a beef stick with pepper seasoning, just slightly hot
Steve is back!
NICE!
Nice!
After a hard week, this is my highlight. Thank you Steve!
Just woke up, getting a notification for a new Steve mre video instantly made my day!
damn steve is banging out the videos lately
nice
I live in England and my son is an army cadet, he had this mre on his last weekend camp! He agrees the casserole is “gourmet” 😂
It is always a great day when a notification of a new video of Steve reviewing an mre shows up!
Always a real treat seeing you upload a video! 💕
My toddler eats the same tactical fruit pouches haha
wow this is actually a really nice ration pack. I would love to have this for a single meal. i imagine however often this is used as a full days ration.
Not enough calories for a whole day
Always a good day when Steve pops up on the feed.
Your channel is a museum and I hope it will be preserved as such
New steve double feature. Nice
Hope you enjoy the two new ones and have a nice evening mondo. Alright cool, see ya
“Some of the best tea you can get in a MRE” I’d be ashamed of being British if our ration packs didn’t have the best tea in them.
Typhoo used to do that stuff in a jar... quite a strange taste...
One of my favorite things in life is hearing Steve say "Oooops"--just the way he says it 😊😊😊 Great video, this was a nice MRE, I'd be happy with it if out in the field!
Love the macro zoom in, nice touch
Steve's videos are the only ones I play at normal (1x) speed, there's something about them that makes you want to savor them and not blast through them. The sounds? His voice? The camera shots (like the cloud of dust when he poured the drink powder?)
huh. you a fan of alvin and the chipmunks?
@@KhunarkI do the same. I play at 1.25. Sounds pretty much the same but you save some time
Omfg same! I've gotta watch everything on at least 1.25x speed cause mfkrs talk slow to draw out their video time. I'm trying to straight CONSUME some damn information when I'm watching.
Even some Steve videos I've gotta skip through lil bits occasionally.
Idk how people can stand to watch videos at regular speed anymore. I've found myself wishing I could turn up most people's speech rates irl too.
Makes me feel nuts how slow a lot of people speak.
@@SirTorcharite sounds like ADHD
@@milquetoastedNah, ADHD would be unable to sit to watch a video at all... It's true that people talk verrrrry slow in most videos
Awesome to see mate, I'm watching while waiting for a flight to far western New South Wales, Australia. Awesome to see this! Yes I'm slightly inebriated but, hey, I'm Australian and I guess that's kinda expected.
The pilots are probably drunk too, so no biggie. How else are they supposed to fly upside-down?

Great to be seeing more reviews and its nice to hear an American appreciating British tea
Steve's reviews are just the best!
I like none of the contents of this MRE, but I’m gonna watch this man eat it and savor it, because.. reasons.
You don't get down with Biscuits Brown?
What kind of howling savage doesn't like a sossij casserole?
Steve! Have you thought about testing/reviewing popular "prepper" foods like 4patriots/ReadyHour/ReadyWise etc.. always curious if they taste good or if they're "MRE" quality lol
They are to much like Jim Bakkers whole prepper deal and everyone knows to stay as far away from that as humanly possible. 😂
Mountain house is the best
I think the problem is you have to buy those in bulk so it'd be a huge waste of food. Most of them are the same as (possibly even from the same OEM) single meal camping rations though and there are youtube channels that review those.
I've tried a bunch of these as my folks bought a few containers of the 4patriots stuff. The meals are much like what you'd find in the camping section, and aside from the main dishes, it's mostly dried fruits and nuts in my experience. I haven't eaten a modern MRE but I'd bet they're tastier than most of the prepper stuff.
steve posting video is a like a christmass gift
Steve! I love you man! You've blessed my evening!!!
